Description This bookplate, in black ink, contains an escutcheon, gules (red), with a chevron, ermine (white powdered fur with black tufts), and is charged with two crescents over one garbe. Above the escutcheon is a dexter closed helmet, which is crested by a curved wreath and an eagle's head, erased, with a crown around its neck. From the helmet flows very elaborate mantling which flows out and down to the base of the escutcheon. Above the crest is a banner containing the Latin motto.

Notes Due to the common name of the originator, it is difficult to determine ownership. A number of William Smiths are mentioned in works on British, American and Canadian bookplates, however, none of the mottos of these match up with the motto on this bookplate.
